By a vote of 7 to 1, the Northgate School Board voted Monday to rescind the two-week closing of the district's buildings to all student activities for two weeks in the summer.

Board member David Natale said that although the two-week period orginally was scheduled as a time when families could take vacations knowing there would be no practices or other activities, other students were hurt by the inability to access school buildings during the period.

Board member Timothy Makatura cast the lone dissenting vote. Board member Anthony Barbarino was absent from the meeting.

Asbestos inspection

The Northgate School District will undergo an asbestos re-inspection.

Every structure, from sheds to buildings, will be included. This is a three-year re-inspection and management plan update. It is a federally-mandated procedure that will cost Northgate $2,900.

When new board member Dr. Timothy Makatura asked why the need for re-inspections if no asbestos was found the first time, Dr. Reggie Bonfield, superintendent, explained, "We have to do it per the federal government requirement."
